Is there already a spreadsheet for CL 8?

@knyte
last time we did a 1v1 and Hawks got demoted. I am superstitious :). Care of we dont play officially in CL9 against each other :P

Still no template links? Sadness.

I was told the templates probably aren't finalized so I have no idea how to finalize a clan lineup or even when to submit it. I'm still guessing another month before any Clan League games would start.

Also I was told that BR dropping out means that Division C will have 6 clans instead of the standard 7, thought no official decision is made this means some feel its easier to just kick this down the road to next season rather then promote someone from D now. If Division C only has 6 clans, how this impacts next season is important. Is it 2 promotions from D and 1 relegation from C or 3 promotions from D and 2 relegations from C? Questions, questions. So many questions.

@GE: could you fill me in on the current picture for who's in which division? Chris's picture in the first post is hella outdated.

Right now, this is what I think D looks like:

- HYDRA
- M'Hunters
- CORP
- General Chou Frise's Winter Wonderland Brigade
- Footballguys
- The Lost Wolves
- {Olympus}

If HYDRA get moved up, would it look like this?:

- M'Hunters
- CORP
- General Chou Frise's Winter Wonderland Brigade
- Footballguys
- The Lost Wolves
- {Olympus}
- The Poon Squad

@Kynte, both of those divisions are correct. I honestly thought it was guaranteed that Hydra would promote if BR dropped out so it was shocking that ChrisCMU said he thinks it should wait until next season. That was just an opinion not an official decision so things could change. I would obviously very much like to play in Division C this season so I can only hope for the best.

I just don't want Hydra players (and former ILLUMINATI players) to get shafted twice in the same season. First getting stuck in Division D1 which was an awful division then second *just* missing out on promoting despite there being room to promote.

"I was told the templates probably aren't finalized so I have no idea how to finalize a clan lineup or even when to submit it." Really ?! But... I hope that is wrong. Cus I mean templates have already been voted etc... really the easiest and perhaps best solution is to just say "Sorry, but this templates are final"

PS, Hydra moving up to C +1

Yeah; I agree with you that it's a poor decision. It's just going to make CL (as a ranking process) slower- although a 3-way M'Hunters, HYDRA, CORP matchup would be interesting to watch.

CL's slowness, combined with its P/R format, makes it pretty slow to process new clans (which we all saw with AWF, Illuminati, M'Hunters, CORP, etc., last season) and to properly sort weaker clans that end up in higher division than where they belong.

Seems like just promoting HYDRA would be a really simple decision to make. If they keep HYDRA in D and decide to only promote 2 from D again, that's just another season of one of HYDRA/M'Hunters/CORP playing in the wrong division.

Hydra is not going to be your problem... MH lineup is stronk!

We're trying to plot how to avoid relegation atm, so having any alliance that is guaranteed to beat us move up is good news for our hopes.

We're in!
I'll be point of contact

Semice your not supposed to tell them that.

Hi

I exist

I missed a bunch of players on the first sweep for M'Hunters, Hydra, and CORP since I don't think those are the clans we'll be getting wins from. :P The Tier stuff was more for a general picture. (Also, to anyone offended at being Tier 3- it goes much lower than that, I just don't expect M'Hunters to throw people at that level in Clan League 8).

Not really that confidential; in fact, if people want to share their current lineups/rosters, I'd be willing to join in. Would make planning on my end a bit simpler.

Nice, Knyte :D

I thought tier referred to 1v1, 2v2,3v3? Oh well, since when am I a tier 1 player.

Managers League has me as a Tier 9!

Good Luck TLW, hope you avoid relegation :p

@TBest: those tiers are set relative to TLW. But the TL;DR of my M'Hunters analysis is that y'all are some clear heavy favorites to win the division, with or without Hydra in it.

Good luck getting promoted. :P We're on opposite sides of things here.

What Tier does TLW players rank at?

That's classified. :P

Also, the Tiers aren't evenly spaced. In any case, I didn't expect Semice to leak this stuff outside the Clan Forum.

Edited 5/6/2016 02:29:29

Well to be fair most of the TLW players would rank somewhere in Tier 8 if that tier existed... :P

Because some people like adolf hitler, mister kl and incognito's ladder rating are abysmal (lower than 1k, KL's goes down under 700)

p.s. those of course aren't the ones they'll use though

Yeah, this is honestly a pretty big organizational challenge. Even an easy 6-roster is tough to assemble. I hope to invest a lot of time once we get our CL8 lineup sorted out helping our players improve and building a solid strategic backbone.

HYDRA not promoting to C is just as bad as ONE! not replacing XS in division B. :/ Seriously with one season per year (as it becomes currently) it'll be forever until these div D clans advance to where they belong. That is, if the divisions actually matter at all at this point.
